A few months ago I bought a "Porsche 914 Gas Shock Kit" on eBay from this vendor:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...178155&rd=1 I've misplaced the instruction sheet, and repeated emails to the vendor over a span of a couple of weeks didn't generate any response. All I really need are the measurements, say from the taillight lens to the 1st hole, and on the lid side, from the front edge to the 1st hole. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Jim |

3 cars I've installed these on ... never a problem ... one 3 years ago .... Now I don't worry about torn from the body hinge brackets or replacement of those stupid rollers and the potential blood. I can put my targa top in the trunk with no problems and with the same effort it took when it had torsion bars. If you're a CW more power to you ... keep dealin' with those idiot torsion springs. With his kit you don't have to cut the seal.
Worried about screws .... spot weld the brackets.
